Improvements in both energy efficiency and computing power continue driving
PCs both smaller and quieter. The trend is omnipresent, and clearly impacts
the industrial and commercial markets as well as the more visible consumer segments.
Logic Supply has been a player in the industrial and commercial sector for many
years, with a heavy emphasis on small, fanless, silent PCs.

The last Logic Supply mini PCs to grace SPCR was the ML400G-50 in late November
last year. This was a fanlessly cooled mini-ITX system sporting an Intel Core
i5-4200M (Haswell) 2.5 GHz mobile processor in a virtually sealed aluminum heatsink
chassis.

The model examined here is the ML210G-10, which employs a Bay Trail Celeron
embedded processor in a Thin Mini-ITX format to shrink the case even further.
The photos below show the lower profile of the new system against the earlier
ML400G-50.

...compared to the 2.24" ML400 G-50.

Aside from a smaller case, the ML210G-10 also features even lower power consumption,
thanks to the Bay Trail processor, even with four cores, double that of the
ML400G-50. The same cheerful and distinctive orange-silver colour scheme is
followed here.

*Various RAM, SSD and other options available.
Price of the above config at time of writing (w/o OS) was $577.00

The maximum T-junction temperature of the Celeron J1900 processor is a sizzling
105°C, which partly explains Logic Supply's confidence in the ability of
this passively cooled system to function safely in up to 55°C ambient temperature.

The ML210 series is available in two models. The ML210G-10 is the embedded
Bay Trail option. The ML210G-50 is a higher performance option in the same case
utilizing an Intel i5-4300U ULV (ultra low voltage) Haswell mobile processor
on a Thin Mini-ITX board.

The system came safely double-boxed in a plain cardboard carton.
A power adapter with cables, dual antenna, VESA mounting hardware, and
stick-on rubber feet were included.
